Joseph Bush who the article is about said:

"When I sent him my photos, they actually turned the Hubble Space 
Telescope (HST)
to check it out," he said.

Having been down to the Hubble Space Telescope launch and talked to many 
of the contractors who worked on the Hubble along with having lots of 
information on how the Hubble works (from NASA), I can say that looking 
at the moon is one of the really big no, no's as that much light will 
fry many of the sensitive instruments on board. Three things the 
Hubble's software is programed to do, keep it pointed away from the 
Earth, Moon and of course the Sun as any could and would be fatal to the 
Space Telescope.

The gentleman is a liar who advised the reporter. There are of course 
other obvious miss statements and lies.
